RAW DAIRY IS THE BEST FOOD TO EAT ON THE KETO DIET
Grass-fed raw dairy products may be some of the healthiest foods to eat on a ketogenic diet menu. For example, grass-fed raw butter is basically pure raw fat; it has zero carbs, zero sugars and zero grams of protein. As you can see, most of butters' fat is saturated. If you're on a ketogenic diet, you probably already know that saturated fat is healthy. RAW FAT is even better!
RAW GRASS-FED BUTTER, CHEESE AND CREAM:
When it comes to dairy, choosing products that are full-fat instead of low-fat or fat-free is preferred. Grass-fed raw butter, Grass-fed raw cheese and Grass-fed raw cream is not only more nutritious, but people who consume full-fat dairy products have a reduced likelihood of being overweight or obese. This is because the saturated fats keep them fuller for longer.
These foods contain vitamins A, D, E and K, and essential fatty acids like omega-3s and CLAs. These nutrients are anti-inflammatory, balance insulin levels, increase metabolism, support digestive health, and give detoxification pathways a jump start so that you can burn fat more efficiently!
